Queenstown Gardens, Botanical garden on Lake Whakatipu peninsula, Queenstown-Lakes District, New Zealand.

Queenstown Gardens is a botanical garden on a Lake Whakatipu peninsula spanning roughly 15 hectares with varied plantings. The grounds mix introduced conifers like Douglas firs with native plants, a large pond, and views toward surrounding mountains.

The gardens began in 1866 when Mayor James Robertson and nurseryman McConnochie planted two English oaks to mark the borough's incorporation. Those initial trees formed the foundation for what grew into this established landscape.

The Rees Memorial, built in 1978 by the Queenstown and District Historical Society, commemorates William Gilbert Rees, the area's first settler, who arrived in 1860. The Scott Memorial, unveiled in 1913, honours Robert Falcon Scott and the men who died on the 1912 Antarctic expedition. The band rotunda near the Park Street entrance dates from 1891 and was rebuilt in 1999 by the Queenstown Lions Club.

The gardens sit on a peninsula beside Lake Wakatipu, entered near the Park Street band rotunda or from the town side. Trails run through the Douglas fir belt to viewpoints over the lake, the Frankton Arm and the mountains. Facilities include tennis courts, lawn bowls, a skate and BMX area, a children's playground, a disc golf course and, in winter, ice skating. The rose garden lies just past the tennis courts.

The disc golf course in the gardens is the first permanently marked course in New Zealand. The band rotunda near the Park Street entrance dates from 1891 and was rebuilt in 1999 by the Queenstown Lions Club.
